I have a 3/4wt rod, 7'. I have 4wt line on it and I like it alot. I was wondering if I put 3wt on another spool, would it not cast as far? I would like to use it for bluegills and trout.

will you have an appreciable less splash? probably not. Your 4wt line is only driving your cast further. An old secret to extending your cast and/or fully loading the rod was to put on the next heaviest line weight. Plus it allows for heavier flies.
